This museum will give you the chance to get up close and personal with the small four-winged microraptor, a dinosaur that measured only one-foot tall and considered the most abundant of non-bird dinosaurs. The monstrous tyrannosaurus rex, which is everyone’s favorite, fondly referred to as TRex, a beast with a huge skull, balanced by a long and heavy tail. These perfectly constructed gigantic creatures are exquisitely detailed, that you can imagine they’ll come to life at any moment. The detailed works are courtesy of talented paleoartists who used actual dinosaur bones to mold incredible body forms.
